Unparalleled innovation has led to undeniable strength. – Joroutte Devolle Geared toward versatility and prolonged deployment in hostile environments, Marauders represent the cutting edge in today’s warship technology. While being thick-skinned, hard-hitting monsters on their own, they are also able to use Bastion technology. Similar in effect to capital reconfiguration technology, when activated the Bastion module provides resistance to electronic warfare and the ability to withstand enormous amounts of punishment, at the cost of being stationary.

Summary

The Kronos is the Gallente Marauder-class battleship. The Kronos is a behemoth of a ship that can roll over almost any challenger with ease due to its monstrous tank, mixed flight of heavy and medium drones, bonus to armor rep, and four double-damage hybrid turrets (the ship's bonuses favoring blasters). While a blaster-fitted Kronos has extraordinarily high damage, the bastion module immobilizing the Kronos can lead to range issues, but it is a prodigious brawler if it can get close.

As with all Marauders, it has several utility high slots, which are intended to be fit with tractors and salvagers to make an all-in-one PvE ship.

Skills

The Kronos is an extremely expensive Tech 2 hull, and as such deserves excellent skills.

• Large Hybrid Turret and Motion Prediction to V to use Tech 2 Large Blasters. Alternatively, train Sharpshooter to V instead of Motion Prediction to use Tech 2 Large Railguns.
• Trajectory Analysis, Controlled Bursts, Surgical Strike, Rapid Firing, Sharpshooter, and Motion Prediction to at least IV, preferably V. Motion Prediction and Sharpshooter V are prerequisites for large blasters and railguns respectively.
• Large Railgun Specialization and Large Blaster Specialization to IV to take advantage of the DPS buff that these skills provide to their respective weapons.
• Marauders to at least IV.
• All of the skills for a full T2 armor tank and for T2 drones.

Tactics

The Kronos is the highest DPS Marauder, but pays for that by being the shortest ranged. The Kronos struggles in solo PvE due to its awful range when blaster fit and its poor tracking and low damage when rail fit. Despite its marauder ability to use armor reps to shrug off 200+ DPS before its ridiculous resists, the Kronos struggles with capacitor. In fact, the Kronos ironically has more cap issues than the Paladin due to the Paly's bonus to energy turret activation cost. Despite these drawbacks, the bastion module can cover a multitude of sins, and the Kronos still sees use as a solo PvE ship for L4s and anomalies. The Kronos shines best in fleet PvE operations such as Incursions and Strongholds where its weak capacitor and lack of application are less of an issue and where its insane damage are highly valued.

Notes

In ancient Greek mythology, Kronos was the leader of the Titans and the father of Zeus. Rhea was his consort.
